Description
Book SynopsisInspired by a traveling circus he encountered in a small Mexican town on the Pacific coast, Fernando Botero uses bright colors and unexpected movement to celebrate the poetry of the circus in Circus: Paintings and Works on Paper. This latest title marks the first time the complete circus series has ever been published together as a collection and represents all of the esteemed artist's work on one of his favorite subjects, one which has also inspired the likes of Renoir, Picasso, Seurat, Lautrec, Chagall, Léger, and Calder.
Trade ReviewThe Colombian artist, Fernando Botero's works of art have always fascinated me. Born in 1923, he is truly one of the most famous living artists of our time. His works are instantly recognizable and I am thrilled to present this book, Circus: Paintings and Works on Paper, a complete collection published for the first time. It is filled with whimsical images in vivid saturated color...He celebrates the human body through voluminous size and enchanting movement, and at times they seem to be light as a feather. -- Karena Albert March 4, 2015
